While Hurricane Alex has kept us away from the pool for the latter half of the week, I am thankful for the time I was able to splash in the water with Kim and Maddie earlier this week. I had what you might call and Aha moment in the pool on Tuesday after submitting my manuscript to the publisher. Here I was feeling euphoric over the completion of a life long dream that came as a result of two years of intense growth and followed by three months of non stop work in uncharted water. As I floated on my back in the nearly empty pool it occurred to me the water was holding me up. Despite my weight, the water was able to hold me. I have watched Madison try to learn to float and it is only when she panics that she falls below the surface. Morgan, on the other hand, hasn't learned to be afraid yet and is able to float perfectly fine.
God is enough to sustain me. I don't need to know how or why. He just does it. And when I panic and start thinking too much, I inevitably fall below the surface. In writing this book, I have learned to trust God. I have learned to float both in and out of the pool. The water is enough to sustain me. God will hold me up. I will not drown. As a result of floating, I have reached a level of self fulfillment I never knew existed. I feel strong, capable, powerful. Thank you Lord!
